5 name non rnnvnnrine'nn AUXILI RY w'nnnn cnnnPrnGQ Be'it known't'hat we, THOMAS ,M. DAVIES and WALTE DAVIES, subjects of the'King of Great Britain, residing at Llanelly, Wales, Great Britain, have lnvented new and useful Improvements in Means for 'Irc venting an Auxiliary WheelCrecping, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates 'to auxlhary wheels consistlng of a run, an inflated or other tire Patent No. 895,97 5, for attaching theauxiliary rim to the side of the rim of a motor car wheel when the tire on this-last mentionedv wheelis unctured or otherwise injured. v Hereto ore in order to' n'event cn'cuinierentialmotlon or creeping etwecn. the auxil- 'iary wheel and the car wheel, a fork carried by" the auxiliary I'llllllElS engaged with a spoke of the car wheel, but? such'iorks are l able to injure the appearanceof'the spokes.

-According' to" the present invention we form the auxiliary rim with two radial posts and pass the ends of a flattened endless strap around said posts and the flattened or double part around one or more spokes. Such strap I s provided with loops or rings to tighten its ends over the two posts, or two end posts' or artillery'car wheel.

when more than two posts are employed.

The invention is illustrated in the acco1npanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 isa lan of part of a car wheel and part of an auxi iary w reel, showing the auxlliary Wheel attached to the side of a wooden Fig. 2 is a side eleva- .tion of parts of the auxiliary wheel only shown at Fig. 1.

Such means of attachment A form no part of the present invention and the 'mcans here shown are fully described in the specification of the aforesaid United States Patent No. 0 is accast or stamped base plate which is fixed to the auxiliary rim (1- by the ing 0 is provided-with two radial posts a rivetsd or otherwise.

each provided with a flange f. In p0njunction with these radial posts a, we employ an endless doubled strap 9 made of leather or other suitable pliable material, and such strap carries two sliding rings lz b'y which it is fixed on to the posts c'when the auxiliary wheel a is first attached to the car wheel Z). After the auxiliary wheel a has crept slightly the endless strap gbecomes tight around the spoke i and the posts 0 and is then held in position by friction and by the flanges In Fig. 2 the position of the spoke i is only shown by dotted lines. One end of the endless strap 9 which forms a loop, is placed in position over one of the radial posts e and the nearest ring 71. is pushed towards the posts 6, thereby closing the looped end. of the strap 9 tightly around the post a. The endless strap g is then passed around a spoke i and the other looped end is then passed over a second post 6 and the other ring it is moved towards he post to close the loop.

' In the modification shown at Figs. 4

and 5, the endless strap 5 is longer than in theforni shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and the iauxiliaryrim is prov? led with two radial posts 6 each having a. nge f, but the posts are arranged at a great -r distance apart and on separate base plates. Inthis modification there a-rcothcr posts e intermediate of the end posts e. These posts e may each have its flange connected to the base of the art by a web 7' to form an eyc'at their bacli so that the endless strap 1 may be passed there through an ama thus be more securely held in position. i post 6 by sliding the ring h into position a"! is passed to and fro around the spokes i and the posts a and is finally fixed to the last post by sliding the ring h into position near to the post. 4

We claim: o

1. In an auxiliary wheel, the combination of a rim, means for fixingthe same laterally to a car wheel, posts ermanently fixed to and projecting radial y from said rim, a

.strap on said posts adapted to engage a spoke of the car wheel, and a flange on the inner end of each post adapted to retain the strap in position, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. In an auxiliary wheel, the combination of a rim, means for lixing' the same laterally to a car Wheel, base plates'fixcd to said rim, radially extending posts carried by the base The strap 7 is fixed on one o -1 plates, a strap on said posts adapted to engage a spoke of the car wheel, and a flange carried at the inner end of eachpost to retain the strap in position, substantially as set forth. r

3. In an auxiliary wheel, the combination of a rim, means for fixing the same laterally to a car wheel, posts projecting radially from the rim, a flange on the inner end of each 0st, an endless strap forming a flattened oop adapted to engage a spoke of the car wheel, the ends of which loop are located on the end posts, and rings on said strap to -retain the flattened condition of said strap and thus hold this latter in position on said end posts, substantially as set forth.

4. In an auxiliary ,wheel, the combination car wheel and passed around the endL-radial posts and through the said eyes andfing's' 'onthe endless strap by which it is tightened over the end posts, substantially as set forth. I I

In witness whereof we havehereunto set our hands in presence of two witnesses.
